Well, none really--and why they should be *easily truncated* (i.e. MS's
centering behavior) to facilitate other means of object alignment.

But *when present*, they should behave like any other "printing" character for
the font in use--wrap at margins.

And this of course is not just the U+0020 instance. Rather that all Unicode
whitespace within text spans be handled the same.  E.g. a run of U+0020 and a
run of U+00A0 should get the same handling--wrap at margins. They don't
currently.

Not to be confused with handling on document canvas of NPC--e.g. the zerowidth
joiners, RTL/LTR marks, or the Pilcrow paragraph markers that can extend beyond
margins.
